Coating thickness gauge MikroTest 5 G

handheldmagneticplastic

Product description
Magnetic coating thickness gauge MikroTest 5 G for fast, accurate and non-destructive measurement of coatings such as:

• electroplated layers
• paint and thin protective coatings

on steel substrates.

Main functions

• Operation without power supply
• No calibration required
• Usable in any orientation
• Fully automatic measurement cycle

Measurement principle and description
The measurement is based on magnetic adhesion-force measurement. The adhesion force depends on the distance between a permanent magnet and the steel substrate, which corresponds to the thickness of the non-magnetic coating. A measuring spring applies a counterforce to lift the magnet; the applied force or the torsion angle of a torsion spring is directly proportional to the coating thickness. The method is suitable for nickel plating on copper, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals when applied on steel substrates.
